Description
The 2023 LUDT Gen III is a refined evolution of Microtech’s iconic Underwater Demolition Team knife, a legend that first made waves in the mid-1990s. Renowned for its lightning-fast deployment and rugged design, the LUDT became a staple for knife enthusiasts and collectors alike. After a brief hiatus, this modernized version brings back the same legacy with upgrades that set it apart.
This blade is precision-engineered for maximum performance, featuring a crowned spine, jimping on the thumb ramp, a reinforced tip, and an integrated fuller (blood groove) for enhanced penetration while maintaining structural strength. The durable black finish offers a sleek aesthetic while adding resilience to the cutting edge.
The ergonomic handle is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum and features seamlessly integrated 3M Traction Tape inserts, offering unparalleled grip for daily carry or demanding tasks. With a meticulously refined actuation button and tip-up stainless steel pocket clip, the LUDT Gen III is designed for effortless use and portability. Every detail has been meticulously updated, including the addition of Torx screws and a lanyard hole for increased functionality and secure handling.
With its innovative design, premium materials, and signature Microtech reliability, the 2023 LUDT Gen III is the ultimate companion for everyday carry and outdoor adventures.
